Welcome to Nightmare Game III

The three of Qi Leren, Werther and Fox found an empty room on the second floor of the tavern, and talked about business while drinking.

Qi Le kept a proper silence, which made him extraordinarily unpredictable in the eyes of Werther and the fox.

Fox: "Now you all know my true identity. I am not a nobleman from Canaan, nor do I want to avenge my lord Asclepius. Strictly speaking, I hate her. I just purely I hate the nobles, I hate this corrupt and old world."

Qi Leren hesitated to speak, and even wanted to give the fox a copy of Mao Anthology.

He more or less guessed how the fox and Daisy became friends.As a sympathizer of slaves, the fox is naturally moved when he sees Daisy who saves the refugees regardless of her background and without asking for rewards.Even though Daisy's background can be said to be the top of the pyramid, she is an outlier in this class.

Werther touched the back of the fox's hand reassuringly: "My story is even plainer than yours. I have no past because I am..."

Qi Leren pricked up his ears.

"A villain in a bottle."

Werther is a villain in a bottle?

This was completely beyond Qi Leren's expectation, he blurted out: "But you obviously have a heartbeat!"

He has repeatedly confirmed this point, and he is not negligent at all.

Werther looked at him meaningfully: "You really know what a villain in a bottle is, and even know how to identify them."

Qi Leren and him looked at each other for a long time, and touched his face - he did not reveal the original appearance of this body, because Werther recognized Ji Chenxing's villain in a bottle.But even if Werther doesn't know his "true identity" like he did in the first episode, he can still infer a certain possibility from his words and deeds.

Werther is quite smart.

The fox looked blank, and he asked Qi Leren: "The little man in the bottle, you told me just now, but what does it have to do with the heartbeat?"

Qi Leren said indifferently: "The villain in the bottle has no breathing or heartbeat."

The fox became more and more confused: "But he has, this kind of thing can't be hidden from people who have close contact."

Qi Leren: "..."

There is no need to remind me of your relationship again and again, he slandered.

"Artificial pacemaker and artificial lung." Werther pointed to his chest, "After getting to know you, I implanted this in myself."

The fox was stunned for a long time: "Why?"

There was a helpless arc on the corner of Werther's mouth: "As you said, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the person next to your pillow. I don't want you to think that I am a monster. I want to be a normal person, as normal as you people."

Qi Leren: "..."

Really, really, really don't have to remind me of your relationship again, he thought again.

"I have another question, who is your owner?" Qi Leren asked nervously, afraid of hearing the most terrifying answer.

Werther touched his undulating chest: "When I woke up from the bottle, I was told my fate. They said, I am very lucky, because my owner is almost immortal, he is living in the world The gods who control the life and death of the entire domain..."

Qi Leren's eyes opened wider and wider, and an ominous premonition sounded the alarm.

"He is the domain master of Neverland, Ember."

"Not Mephisto?" Qi Le asked subconsciously.

Werther shook his head. "Do you think Mephisto will let his bottle man run around?"

Keeping the villain in a bottle in a safe place is a more controllable way.

"Besides, if I were Mephisto's villain in a bottle, how could I possibly want him to die. Once he dies, it means that my self-consciousness will be invaded by him and become his new body. I can only hope for him to die. Live well." Werther showed a bitter smile.

This is logical, Qi Le people nodded, and then concerned about Ember: "How much do you know about your owner?"

Werther: "I don't really understand. Neverland is the last continent to be born. He is a fairly low-key type of domain master, similar to Ji Chenxing. I haven't even met him. I only heard that he has a very special Tattoo... Mephisto invited him to this year's Midsummer Night Ball."

Qi Leren immediately became vigilant: "What is he here for?"

Fox: "It's probably because of the dragon and the ritual."

Witte said unexpectedly: "You have more information than I imagined."

Of course, after all, he is a person with a second eye, and Qi Leren prayed silently, hoping that he would not open a third eye.

But if he really opens the third week, maybe he can save Daisy...

Qi Leren pondered for a while, listening to Fox and Werther talking about the origins of several domain masters.

Fox: "What is the origin of Neverland? Ember is too low-key, and I don't have much information about him."

Witte: "Expansion. So over the years, Neverland has been continuously expanding its territory, and its land area has been growing steadily every year. If it continues, it will inevitably form a super continent."

Fox: "Expansion? What a strange source..."

Qi Le people also found it strange that Neverland in the nightmare world, as the headquarters of the Holy See, was originally "sacred", not "expansion".But this is the ancient world, and we can't use the things in the nightmare world to infer. Neverland in the ancient world has nothing to do with the Holy See.

"By the way, where is Ji Chenxing's origin?" the fox asked again.

Qi Leren pricked up his ears again. In fact, after he broke into the deepest part of the gold workshop in the first week, he vaguely guessed it, but it still depends on Werther to give a definite answer.

Sure enough, Werther said, "Ji Chenxing...his origin is very special. I also heard about it from Mephisto."

Qi Leren couldn't help asking: "What did he say?"

"Mephisto said: Thanks to Ji Chenxing, the three of them created a time labyrinth, allowing the dragon to loop in time." Werther recalled Mephisto's words, "Even if God is invincible , but to trap him, the closest to God they can do."

"Time, Ji Chenxing's origin is time. He, Mephisto, and Ember used the origin of time as the foundation to create a labyrinth of time that keeps looping, which traps the dragon." The fox suddenly realized.

A chilling chill crept up Qi Leren's back.

Ji Chenxing, what did you do to the dragon?You guys are really a villain!

But at the end of the first episode, the system clearly told him that he had fulfilled one of Ji Chenxing's three wishes, and this wish was to "liberate the dragon". In other words, Ji Chenxing regretted it.

Was it because of this disagreement that he broke with Mephisto and Ember, and was killed in the end?

People in Qi Le always feel that there are still unknown mysteries in it.

"According to what you said, Ji Chenxing should be Mephisto's accomplice?" Qi Leren asked.

"No, it's quite the opposite. Although I don't know what happened in the middle, but later Mephisto gave me an order to find Ji Chenxing's villain in a bottle and kill him. He said it was 'just in case'. They must It’s a turn of events. The sinking of the Galaxy Cities also proves this point.”

Qi Leren became more and more confused.

"By the way, speaking of which, I have a portrait of Ji Chenxing, do you want to see it?" Werther asked.

"Why do you have a portrait of Ji Chenxing?" the fox asked slightly annoyed.

"Ahem, don't get me wrong, I only met him once, because his appearance is very special, different from people in other continents, so I drew it specially." Witt explained.

For this portrait, Qi Leren and the fox boarded the carriage to Werther's house and arrived at the destination before dawn.

Werther opened the door of the studio, and Qi Leren saw the portrait of Ji Chenxing hanging in the corner.

The light of the morning sun penetrated into the studio from the glass window, and it happened to fall on the portrait of Ji Chenxing. He has short black hair with a slight brown glow, just like his eyes.He is young and handsome, with soft facial features, gentle eyebrows and eyelashes like fans, and the slightly downturned eye ends make people feel that he is passionate.But his expression is calm, with a faint aura of being in a superior position for a long time, which conceals his overly gentle appearance.

Qi Leren stood there blankly, a sense of confusion occupying his mind.

The person in this portrait was all too familiar to him.

That's exactly what he was.

………………

I'm Ji Chenxing?

Ji Chenxing is me?

Or, this was just a little joke the system played on him when the copy was generated.It was as if the 14-year-old Ning Zhou deliberately misappropriated the appearance of his father Qi Yuxiu on an NPC in his dream.

In the real ancient world, does the domain master named Ji Chenxing really have a face exactly like him?If this is true...

It is no coincidence that he will enter the nightmare world.

"Qi?" the fox called out to him.

Qi Leren came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

The fox pointed at Werther: "Did you hear what Werther said just now?"

Qi Leren nodded.He is not a rookie when he first entered the game, he will completely forget the surrounding environment because of distraction.Even if he was thinking about other things in his heart, he didn't miss a word of Werther's advice.

"After entering the Gold Workshop in a while, follow Werther, don't look around, he will be responsible for taking us into the deepest lake of hellfire, waiting for an opportunity to free the dragon... However, I think you'd better not follow. This Werther and I can do anything." Qi Le said to the fox.

The fox shrugged: "I don't want to miss such a big event. I want to see the liberated dragon destroy everything Mephisto is proud of for the first time. I am satisfied even if I die. Grant my wish, my lord Ji Chenxing."

After visiting the studio, Qi Le people proposed a cooperation plan to Werther: Werther will take him into the gold workshop, and he will liberate the dragon.

Of course Werther would not agree to such a senseless adventure, he asked directly: "The lake of hellfire is bound by the maze of time, how do you free the dragon?"

Qi Leren replied, "Of course Qi Leren can't, but Ji Chenxing can."

After taking off the disguise and revealing the original face of his body, Werther immediately recognized him—Ji Chenxing's villain in a bottle.

"After my resurrection, I forgot a lot of things. I couldn't even remember my own name. But there is one thing I always remember - I am going to liberate the dragon. This may be the meaning of my resurrection." Qi Leren said .

Werther's expression was complicated: "I'm afraid you don't remember the only time we met? At that time, you said to me: If you knew that the villain in the bottle was born in such a sinful way, you would rather not. You may not I know, when everyone saw their villain in the bottle, they were all happy that they could not die. You were the only one who regretted it. At that time, I thought, you must be different. Later, you took away your The little man in the bottle, let him live freely. Because of this, your little man in the bottle escaped from Mephisto and lived freely until today. But you didn’t expect that you died in the end... Your little man in the bottle People have at least been free, unlike me, I can only be Viscount Werther of the Gold Workshop forever, not myself."

This is the tragedy of all villains in a bottle, and it is also the tragedy of this unfair world.

"We're almost there." The carriage passed through the heavily guarded garrison area and stopped in the open space outside the Gold Workshop.

Qi Leren took a deep breath and got out of the carriage before the fox.

Looking at the resplendent and majestic Gold Workshop in the distance, Qi Le's heart was full of excitement.

You can see Ning Zhou soon!

This time it won't be such a coincidence, will I meet Mephisto again?

As soon as the thought came to mind, an exaggerated and weird voice came from behind: "Witter, who did you bring to the Gold Workshop?"

Qi Leren froze and turned his head in disbelief.

In the carriage behind him, Mephisto leaned on the window with one hand, yawning lazily. Dr. Curt, who seemed to have just been revived with the body of the villain in a bottle, graciously opened the door of the carriage for him.

Mephisto, who was supposed to spend time in his own palace, suddenly came to the Gold Workshop when no one expected it!
